RODNEY MICHAEL

Position: C Class: Sr School: Fresno St. Conference: WAC Ht., Wt.: 6'3, 317 40 Time: 5.51 Grade: 3.33

BIO: Four-year starter, spending time at both guard and center. First-team All-Conference choice as a senior and finished his Fresno State career playing 49 games with the first team. POSITIVES: Durable interior lineman who plays with a nasty disposition. Quick off the snap, explodes into run blocks or immediately sets in pass protection. Starts with a wide base, plays with forward lean and jolts opponents with his hands. Turns defenders out of the middle, fights throughout the action and works to finish his blocks. Strong at the point and offers bulk in the middle. NEGATIVES: Lacks agility, adjustment and not effective in space. Struggles the longer he's asked to hold his blocks and has a tendency to get tall. ANALYSIS: Marginal athlete, but a hard worker that offers durability and versatility which gives him a slight chance to stick at the next level. PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent
